Services and Advocacy for Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual & Transgender Elders (SAGE) launched an ad campaign with the tag line "BECAUSE THERE IS NO EXPIRATION DATE ON A FULL, ACTIVE LIFE." Here, here. Fantastic visuals can be seen at
www.sageusa.org. When these hit the NYC transit system in October, you can be sure it will grab the attention of millions.
The day after the first ads ran, it only got better.
Newsweek.com, after months of work, posted an extraordinary multimedia package that included a number of articles and videos about LGBT seniors, the issues they face and the work that SAGE and groups like it do to support our growing senior population. Take a look at
